Joe Engler grew up in Evansville and thought the old buildings in town looked cool, but it didn't go much beyond that. After buying an old bungalow on the west side of town, he began researching the home's history and restoring it in the arts and craft style. Several trips to Willard Library produced old photos and articles about sites he had seen and some he never knew existed. Joe became fascinated with how much the city has changed and determining what buildings stood where. His research lead to the development of HistoricEvansville.com, through which he hopes to bring the historic side of Evansville to a new generation.
